Title: Servo didn't come with mounting hardware?
Post by: offy on March 09, 2009, 01:12:01 PM
I bought the HS-311 servo's and it said it would come with mounting hardware. I looked and didn't find anything for use. Could someone tell me how to mount a servo _ and the screws needed to go this way | so it will attach to the chassis.

That is correct, the parts list does not mention mounting posts only mounting hardware:

When it says servo hardware it is referring to the eyelets grommets and screws.

is there a way I can make it bed 90 degrees so I can attach it to the chassis.

These are easy to attach to the bottom of your chassis

The easy way to do this is to bend an L out of a bracket of some sort

I will search my house for some old toy from when I was little to find some metal and bend it. Great idea. Thanks. *Searches for scrap metal*
